If you’re in the San Francisco Bay Area this weekend and want to get your learning on, check out the robust class offerings of Workshop Weekend and meet like-minded makers.

From their site:

Workshop Weekend is a community-based two-day event that brings together dozens of short, hands-on workshops across a variety of disciplines, from crafting to engineering to gardening, all taught by local, passionate instructors with years of experience in their craft.

There’s no magic to discovering what you’re passionate about; if you haven’t found it yet, keep exploring. We think everyone, young and old, should have the opportunity to discover that passion, and that belief has driven us to put together Workshop Weekend: It’s a way to encourage that exploration of passions.

Classes run the gamut from learning aeroponics to cheese making to light graffiti. Check out the full catalog of workshops for more.

I’m a word nerd who loves to geek out on how emerging technology affects the lexicon. When not fawning over perfect word choices, I can be found on the nearest mountain, looking for untouched powder fields and ideal alpine lakes.

I was an editor for the first 40 volumes of MAKE. The maker movement provides me with endless inspiration, and I love shining light on the incredible makers in our community. Covering art is my passion — after all, art is the first thing most of us ever made.
